Five unique breaks known as Coco Pipe, Bobo’s Point, La Izquierda, the Destroyer and Le Derecha offer travelers distinctly different rides, with some of the biggest waves coming from Coco Pipe and the Destroyer.Travelers can opt to explore on their own, or sign up for learn-to surf lessons with one of the local schools, or as part of an organized tour.The island’s top swells and major waves attract surfers every day of the week, but locals say travelers should be prepared for bigger crowds on weekends. Encuentro Beach is accessible using the coastal road from Sosua and is only about a 15-minute drive. Though conditions are typically safe, surfers may encounter sea urchins and dangerous rip tides, so it’s best to be cautious.

Surfing can be life-changing. Almost always for the better. The contact with the seawater, with the beach, and with the fauna and flora that surround the waves, is good for our bodies and purifies our mind. You can also look at surfing from other perspectives - it's a lifestyle, an addiction, and a healthy outdoor activity. Surfing is many things at the same time - indescribable feelings, joy, friendships, a source of fear, a spiritual connection, and a path to self-discovery. Each one of us - and we are more than 20 million surfers worldwide - has a formula, an explanation, and a unique and intimate relationship with surfing._en-US
